United finished the month with an important 3-0 away victory at Everton, in which Galton scored and Earps kept a clean sheet, to move Marc Skinner’s side to the top of the WSL table.
The Reds and Arsenal are the only remaining unbeaten teams in the league so far this season, with United winning all five league fixtures, conceding no goals.
And, in the month of October, both Galton and Earps were instrumental in preserving that record.
Against Brighton, our first WSL fixture of the month, at Leigh Sports Village, the Reds ran out 4-0 winners, thanks to an Ella Toone brace and goals from Nikita Parris and Galton.
